All the conversations appear in the chat tab of the app’s interface, exactly as you will find in Android’s SMS app. Messages flow is also similar to smartphone’s messaging app with users own image appearing next to all the text bubbles. A notification sound is also triggered each time a new message is received.

Kakaotalk app also supports the MMS, including pictures and videos, amazingly you will find the quality of multimedia messages way too better than the normal MMS.
